The hourlong pilot sets up the story of its titular character, an upper-crust New Yorker who discovers a talent and passion for stand-up comedy against the milieu of late-’50s Manhattan. The series stars House of Cards‘ Rachel Brosnahan, who is supported by the likes of Alex Borstein, Tony Shalhoub, Marin Hinkle, and Michael Zegen.

“In her onstage debut, Mrs. Maisel killed and had audiences responding overwhelmingly with digital applause,” says Amazon head of comedy and drama Joe Lewis. “Like any great young stand-up, we’re excited to see what she has to say next and for a long time to come. That made it an easy decision to order two seasons from Amy and her incredible cast. We can’t wait to bring it to customers soon.”
